The portrait will be on display at the Natural History Museum at Frederiksborg Castle in Denmark, in a special 2018 exhibition of Heimans' work.

"Part of the exhibition explores the historical connections between the Royal Families of Great Britain & Denmark," a tweet from Buckingham Palace explained. "Windsor Castle holds special significance in regard to The Duke of Edinburgh's ancestry. At the end of the Grand Corridor is the Tapestry Room where His Royal Highness' mother, Princess Alice, and maternal grandmother, Princess Victoria were born."
